About this ebook
Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries, Ashlyn Macnamara’s blazing hot novel tells the story of mismatched newlyweds who discover a simmering connection.
Unlike every other proper young lady, Miss Emma Jennings views marrying well as little more than a means to an end. Such a merger would provide her industrious father with social credibility, and Emma with a chunk of her vast inheritance. Emma’s practical views are shattered, however, when her father ties her to the fabulously handsome ne’er-do-well Rowan Battencliffe, a man she loathes on sight—from the smile that promises all manner of wickedness to the way he ogles her with those striking blue eyes.
Deep in debt, especially to his wine merchant, Rowan figures the sooner he gets his finances in order, the sooner he can go back to doing what he does best: burning through ridiculous sums of cash. Which is why Rowan agrees to marry the merchant’s daughter, a prim and proper woman with delightful curves and an ample dowry. But Emma seems to think it’s her business to reform him! Their marriage is a tinderbox—and it’s just too tempting to resist playing with fire.
Praise for Ashlyn Macnamara
“Ashlyn Macnamara is a born storyteller, weaving tales rich in angst, humor, and history as she treats readers to the steamier side of Regency. Her inventive prose has secured her a place on my auto-buy list, and her memorable characters have secured a place in my heart. Don’t forget to set your morning alarm, though . . . you’ll be reading long past your bedtime!”—New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer McQuiston
“Ashlyn Macnamara brings all the elegance and romance of the Regency to life.”—New York Times bestselling author Tessa Dare
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Although I had read the first two books, I nearly did not pick up the third. I enjoyed the first two and did not think the third could carry as well. After all, Rowen had fallen so low.... The best thing I did was change my mind. I liked Henrietta and enjoyed her story. Cecelia was a treasure whom I loved immediately when I met her in Henrietta's story. So different from her sister-in-law but just what Jeremy and Lind needed. I loved having their stories continue in Emma and Rowan's story, which ended as my favorite in this trilogy. Ashlyn Macnamara, congratulations on a job well done. You not only delivered giving us well developed characters, (strong women meeting damaged but strong men) but also three stimulating plots. I will miss these new friends, but they will be fondly remembered.

Interesting interplay with the real world of wine production and tasting and a romance that while not plausible was an enjoyable read.
